Abstract
""This lively and learned book traces the history of the concept of evil from its beginning in ancient times to the period of the New Testament. Drawing upon a vast number of sources from diverse cultures over a broad span of time, considering both the thought of individuals and popular tradition, and utilizing sources from art as well as literature. The author looks at the roots of the idea of evil, deals with the development of the idea in the Ancient Near East, and then concentrates the concept of the Devil as it was formed in late Judaism and early Christianity."--
